Very Tasty, Member Bokchoi

Very nice and welcome change from the traditional italian dressing pasta salad. Using sesame oil instead of vegetable oil is highly recommended. It really makes the dish. In keeping with using ingredients that I have on hand, I substituted the fish with grilled shrimp, used 1/2 of a English cucumber, vidalia onions instead of red, and I used macaroni. The dressing for this is delicious. I will definitely use the recipe again.
